The Sexton Single Malt Irish Whiskey
The Sexton · Bushmills Distillery
An exceptional value sherry-matured single malt — approachable enough for newcomers yet textured enough to reward attention. A genuine milestone in democratizing premium Irish single malt.
Nose
Toasted almond, marzipan, and dried fig lead, supported by warm honey, baking spice, and a whisper of dark chocolate and orange peel.
Palate
Medium-bodied and silky, with nutty sherry sweetness, stewed plum, milk chocolate, and a gentle malt backbone. Hints of clove, raisin, and toasted oak weave through the mid-palate.
Finish
Medium length, warming and dry, with lingering dark fruit, cocoa nibs, and a touch of cinnamon-laced oak.

Food Pairing

Created by master blender Alex Thomas — one of only a handful of women holding that title in Irish whiskey — The Sexton is fully matured in Oloroso sherry butts and bottled in a distinctive black hexagonal flask inspired by the basalt columns of the nearby Giant's Causeway.

The Quiet Man

An ideal daily pour that rewards attentive, unhurried sipping.
Keeper's Heart Irish + Bourbon Cask Strength
Keeper's Heart
Keeper's Heart Cask Strength is a fascinating study in how air and atmosphere shape whiskey — Irish pot still softness meets American bourbon boldness at full power, and the marriage breathes new character into both traditions. The higher proof rewards a splash of water, which opens up delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak. A compelling conversation-starter that earns its place alongside more established names.
The Dubliner 6yr Cask Strength Double Barrel Irish Whiskey
The Dubliner
This cask-strength double-barrel expression punches well above its modest price point, delivering a richness and complexity that speaks to careful cask selection. The six years of maturation provide enough oak influence to give structure without overwhelming the grain character. A perfect fireside pour as the harvest season draws to its close.
Kinahan Small Batch Irish Whiskey

It delivers well above its modest price point, offering the kind of textured, layered experience that rewards attention without demanding it. A quietly confident pour that fits perfectly into the 'earned through craft' ethos.
